Variations of Bep Voskuijl's names.

Subject

Bep's official name was Elisabeth Voskuijl.[1] After her marriage to Cor, her surname became Voskuijl-van Wijk.

When Anne Frank wrote the second version (the B version) of her diary, she wrote a list of the names she wanted to give the people in a book to be published later. Bep Voskuijl is listed on it as Elly Kuilmans.[2] Otto Frank did not use that name, but chose Elli Vossen in the first edition of the diary (1947).[3]
